title: Synthesis and C2-functionalization of indoles with allylic acetates under rhodium catalysis.
abstract: Tandem rhodium-catalyzed oxidative allylation and annulation of acetanilides with allyl acetate to afford the corresponding indoles are described. In addition, the site-selective C2 allylation, crotylation and prenylation of indoles using allylic acetates under rhodium catalysis are reported.
